Relive Fuel Pressure

There's a Shraeder valve (like a big tire stem valve) on the fuel rail between the injectors. Unscrew the plastic cap covering the valve and after placing a rag underneath to catch the fuel, depress the little pin to relieve the fuel pressure.

Thanks, Jerry. Can I assume it will re-build pressure on it's own with a bit of extra cranking?

Yep, no problem... all automatically. :)

You can remove the fuel supply line from the fuel rail. Fuel will spray, so cover the connection with a rag. The obvious admonitions of closed areas and smoking should be observed.

In the event it does not rebuild the pressure, you can disconnect the fuel supply at the fuel rail, direct the hose into a container, and cycle the key a few times until fuel comes out of the hose, then connect it back to the rail.
